Math Problem Statement
Which stem-and-leaf plot matches the data in the histogram shown?
Solution
To determine which stem-and-leaf plot matches the histogram, let's analyze the data displayed in the histogram.
Histogram Analysis:
The histogram displays frequencies within specific intervals:
- 0 to 15: No data (frequency 0).
- 15 to 30: Frequency of 3.
- 30 to 45: Frequency of 4.
- 45 to 60: Frequency of 1.
This suggests:
- There are three data points in the range 15–30.
- There are four data points in the range 30–45.
- There is one data point in the range 45–60.
Now, let's examine each stem-and-leaf option and match it with these findings.
- Option A:
- Stem 1: Leaves 2, 2, 4 (three values in the range 15–30).
- Stem 2: Leaves 4, 7 (two values in the range 30–45).
- Stem 3: Leaves 0, 1, 4 (three values in the range 30–45).
- Stem 4: Leaf 0 (one value in the range 45–60).
This matches the histogram's distribution:
- Three data points in 15–30 (Stem 1).
- Four data points in 30–45 (Stems 2 and 3 combined).
- One data point in 45–60 (Stem 4).
Answer: The correct choice is Graph A.

Tip: When matching data from histograms to stem-and-leaf plots, focus on frequencies and the ranges of values represented by each "stem" in the plot.
